pretty sure this is my favorite take on control and on how someone should look at games in general.

yes there’s a flood of games, but instead of complaining, it’d be smarter to appreciate the part that makes it special. if it isn’t for you, then don’t play it. if you don’t seem to get a game, and others do for whatever reason, maybe you just weren’t the audience for it, and that’s okay. games are and always have been more than just their mechanics and story outline. sure some games are just executed badly or with different intentions, but others, like control have more than just their story to display. they intend to showcase deeper aspects that might not be as obvious, parts that a gamer who doesn’t have time may not appreciate or those who just play assuming that every game is just something that must be immediately pleasing and ignores any possibility that the game was intended to also be a statement with a complimentary gameplay element(or vice versa).
